    YesWeScan: The FEDERAL REPORTER v.33F,MORSE no.3-12 ARMS MANUF'G CO. V. WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. WINCHESTER, REPEATING ARMS, CO. V. MORSE ARMS MANUF'G CO. Circuit Court, D. Connecticut. July 18, 1887. 1. PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS—INFRINGEMENT—BREECH-LOADERS. The first and second claims of patent No. 15,995, granted to George W. Morse, October 38, 1856, for devices used in the operation of breech-loading military fire-arms, are not infringed by the manufacture of arms' by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which are made under the Smith & West, son patents of 1854, and the B. Tyler Henry improvements thereon, patented in 1860. In the Winchester gun the rim of its breech-block is not inserted into the barrel, as re- quired in the first claim of the Morse patent, and it does not have the nippers, S, or radial hooks, operating in substantially the same way, as required in the second claim. 2. EQUITY—MISTAKE—REMEDY AT LAW. A note was given in consequence of a mistake of material facts into which the agent of the maker was led, without laches on his part, and without fraud on the part of the agent of the payee, the former having at hand the means of, knowledge from which, by a more exhaustive examination, the discovery of the mistake could have been made. Upon a cross-bill filed by the maker for the cancellation of the note, held, that as, upon these facts, the defense was fully open to the maker in an action at law, the bill should be dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the maker to interpose its defenses in any action, except the defense of fraud.
